he probably means that the car hit the lamp post.
I saw that last nite but I didn't really look closely since I was on the other side of memorial.

BTW, did anyone see that burning car at Memorial Southbound near the Zoo on Friday?

[Ben]

I was roaring down memorial E and saw the firetrucks and stuff on the other side so I booked it and went under memorial Via Barlow and then pulled over ahead of the accident and ran to half way up the hill and snapped some pics.

[STI-Guy]

Isn't that a Trans Am?
